Pet Cremation Peakhurst | Private Dog & Cat Cremation

How much does pet cremation cost in Peakhurst?

Private pet cremation in Peakhurst starts from $540 with our Private Farewell package, which returns your pet’s ashes in a scatter tube. The Gesture costs $790 and includes an urn plus a fur keepsake, The Memory is $890 with an urn, framed paw print and daily keepsake, and The Legacy is $1,190 with an urn, 2 keepsakes and a premium keepsake.

Every package includes collection from your Peakhurst home or vet, an individual private cremation, a Certificate of Cremation and hand delivery of the ashes within 10 business days. The only extras are the after-hours, weekend and over-50kg fees listed further down this page, so the booking price is the price you pay.

How much does it cost to cremate a dog in Peakhurst?

Dog cremation in Peakhurst costs the same as cremation for any other pet, starting from $540 for a private cremation with ashes returned in a scatter tube, or $790 to $1,190 with an urn and keepsakes. All dogs up to 50kg have the same price, whether small, medium or large.

For dogs over 50kg, including some Great Danes, Mastiffs and Rottweilers, the package price has a 20% surcharge. We accept dogs up to 100kg. Collection from your Peakhurst home or vet is included, and your dog is cremated alone, never alongside another animal.

How much is cat cremation in Peakhurst?

Cat cremation in Peakhurst starts from $540. This includes collection from home or vet, an individual private cremation, a Certificate of Cremation and return of your cat’s ashes within 10 business days. Families choosing an urn for a cat commonly select The Gesture ($790) or The Memory ($890), which include a fur keepsake or framed paw print.

Cats almost always fit the smallest urn size, up to 5kg, so there is no size surcharge to consider. We collect cats from homes and veterinary clinics across Peakhurst and surrounding suburbs, using the same process as for dogs.

Are there any additional fees?

Your selected package includes everything, including pickup and return of the ashes. There are only 3 additional charges, and we explain them before you confirm your booking:

After-hours fee (Monday to Friday, before 9am or after 5pm): +$165
Weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and public holidays: +$250
Pets over 50kg: a 20% surcharge on the package price

If you book an after-hours collection, we may not be able to come until the next day, depending on which drivers are available in the Peakhurst area. Either way, our team will contact you to confirm a pickup time, so you won’t be left waiting without knowing when we’ll arrive.

What should I do if my pet dies at home?

Take some time first, as there is no need to hurry. When you feel ready, place your dog or cat on their side on a towel or blanket, gently close their eyes and position their legs naturally in a curled shape. Do this within the first couple of hours, before stiffness begins. Put an old towel underneath because some fluid release is normal, and keep them cool and out of direct sunlight.

Then book online or call us on 0489 271 267. In Peakhurst we collect from your home within 24 hours, and same day if you book before 2pm on a business day. If other pets in the house want to sniff or sit with them before pickup, that’s fine and can help them understand.

How quickly can you collect my pet in Peakhurst?

We guarantee collection anywhere in Peakhurst and nearby suburbs within 24 hours after your booking is confirmed. Book before 2pm on a business day and we can collect during business hours on the same day at no extra cost. Bookings after 2pm are arranged for the next available collection.

A 30-minute arrival notification is sent before the driver reaches you. Your pet travels in a van prepared with flowers, greenery and a soft bed. After-hours and weekend pickups incur the fees listed above, and we call to confirm the time.

Can you pick up my dog or cat from a vet in Peakhurst?

Yes. Many Peakhurst families say goodbye at the vet, and we collect from any veterinary clinic in Peakhurst and surrounding suburbs, including Riverwood, Mortdale, Padstow, Revesby, Punchbowl, Hurstville, and Panania.

Provide the clinic name during booking and we will organise collection directly with the vet, meaning you do not need to transport your pet. Vet collection is included in every package at no extra cost, and your pet receives a tracking tag as soon as they enter our care.

Do you offer cremation for all pets in Peakhurst?

We cremate domestic pets collected from Peakhurst homes and vets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, ferrets, reptiles and other small animals. Pets up to 100kg are accepted. Horses and other livestock cannot be cremated.

Every pet gets the same private cremation, the same tracking and the same Certificate of Cremation, whatever their size. The price is the same for a dog, cat, rabbit or bird, with a 20% surcharge only for pets over 50kg. If you’re unsure whether we can help with your pet, call us on 0489 271 267 and we’ll talk it through.

Can you cremate a rabbit, guinea pig or bird from Peakhurst?

We provide small animal cremation across Peakhurst. Rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, rats, mice and lizards are each cremated alone in a single chamber, so only your pet’s ashes are returned.

Small pets produce fewer ashes, so many families choose a small urn from The Gesture or The Memory collection, or a keepsake for the home. Collection from your home or vet works the same way as for dogs and cats, with prices starting from the same $540.

Is there a size limit for large dog cremation in Peakhurst?

Pets up to 100kg are accepted, covering almost every dog breed. Large breeds up to 50kg receive the standard package price, while pets from 50kg to 100kg incur a 20% surcharge on the package price for additional handling and cremation time.

Our drivers move large dogs gently from homes or clinics in Peakhurst. Give us your dog’s approximate weight when booking so we can prepare for collection and include any surcharge in the quote.

How soon will I get my pet’s ashes back?

Your pet’s ashes are returned within 10 business days, well ahead of the 3-week industry average. We hand-deliver them to your Peakhurst home in your chosen urn or scatter tube, together with any keepsakes, the tracking ID and Certificate of Cremation.

We’ll contact you beforehand with the delivery date, so you know when to expect them. If that day doesn’t suit, call us on 0489 271 267 and we’ll work something out.

Which urn size do I need for my dog or cat?

The correct urn depends on your pet’s weight. Our urns are available for pets up to 5kg, 5 to 20kg, 20 to 35kg, 35 to 50kg and over 50kg. Most cats, rabbits and small dogs use the smallest size, a Labrador generally fits 20 to 35kg, and larger breeds use the sizes above that.

You do not have to calculate this yourself. Share your pet’s approximate weight when booking and we will match an urn from your selected collection.

Can I scatter my pet’s ashes?

We seal your pet’s urn by default, but you can request an unsealed urn or a scatter tube if you plan to scatter the ashes. Private Farewell includes a scatter tube rather than an urn.

Some families remember their pet during gentle walks near Gannons Park, while choosing to scatter ashes in a garden or another favourite place. Scattering on your own property is generally fine, but check with the local council or landholder before using parks, beaches or other public land.

Are your cremation services private?

Always. Every pet collected in Peakhurst receives an individual private cremation. Your pet is cremated alone in a single chamber, and the ashes returned are theirs only, never mixed or shared with another animal.

We do not provide communal or group cremation. Every package, starting with the $540 Private Farewell, is fully private and includes a Certificate of Cremation confirming this.

How do I know it’s my pet’s ashes?

Your pet is tracked from the moment they enter our care. We attach a unique tracking tag at collection, then our staff check it repeatedly at every stage, from the van through the crematorium and back to your door.

The ashes are returned with your pet’s tracking ID and Certificate of Cremation. Since each cremation is individual, the ashes you receive belong only to your pet.

Who is Buddy?

Buddy carries out your pet’s cremation. After booking, you receive notifications from them as your pet progresses through each stage.

You can still contact our team at any time throughout the process, before or after pickup, on 0489 271 267. We stay your point of contact from booking right through to the return of your pet’s ashes.

Does pet insurance cover cremation?

Some pet insurance policies provide a cremation or end-of-life benefit, while others do not. Cover depends on your insurer and policy level, so check the product disclosure statement or contact your insurer before booking if you intend to claim.

When your policy covers cremation, we can provide a payment receipt and Certificate of Cremation to support your claim.

Which suburbs around Peakhurst do you cover?

We provide pet collection services in Peakhurst and surrounding suburbs, including Riverwood, Mortdale, Padstow, Revesby, Punchbowl, Hurstville, and Panania.

Every package includes pickup from your home or vet throughout Peakhurst, Peakhurst Heights and the surrounding suburbs. If you are just outside these areas, call 0489 271 267 and we will let you know straight away.
